Cheezy Winter Squash Pasta
Emily Woody
This comforting pasta uses winter squash and nutritional yeast to create a satisfying cheese-like sauce. We then add a dash of chipotle powder and cayenne for a touch of heat. This is a perfect dish for a chilly winter night!
Ingredients
600 grams cooked winter squash
500 ml broth
30 grams nutritional yeast
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/4 tsp cayenne powder
2 tsp salt
Makes 4 servings
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 f to roast your squash. We recommend using Tetsukabuto squash, but you can use any winter squash, even a spaghetti squash.
Cut the squash into thin wedges about 1”thick, coat with olive oil, and place skin-side down on your baking sheet.
Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is fork tender.
About 10 minutes before the squash is done cooking, start your pasta.
Place the cooked squash (you can leave the skin on) into a blender with the broth and all of the spices.
Blend until smooth and serve over pasta.
